picturesque moments with strength and energy
Ulrike Hahn's pictures have great painterly power. The energy of her images often overwhelmed me. This throwing yourself into the motif, into the color, into the work, this unconditionality is a characteristic of her person.
What is characteristic of her is a painterly way of seeing and working, coming from classical modernism, which seeks and values what is directly seen, what is experienced with the senses, as a source and triggering impulse for creative activity.
No story is told here, no portrait is aimed at. It's about the expression of an individual state of mind, a mood, here: a moment of being introverted. In this context I would like to look at your drawings which are a completely independent part of her artistic work. She arise in direct reaction to what is experienced and seen: to life and Working in Berlin, encounters of all kinds that the urban space offers Experience music, theater or just the view from the studio window. It is the most direct, fastest way for Ulrike to get an image idea or a thought to write down. While Ulrike's painting is more of a throwing out, i.e. an extrovert, yes, it also has an eruptive aspect, so the drawing directs the gaze inwards. she is the complementary, contemplative moment in her work.
